Wedding Gift with No Card!

Marissa, on November 8, 2016 at 2:39 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6

We received a beautiful gift at our wedding this weekend that either did not have a card or the card got lost in between the hotel room and the car. Although, my mom does not remember seeing a card attached to that gift. Anyway, it is not so easy for me to figure out who gave it to us because it is a duplicate gift from our myregistry.com registry. According to our registries, we still have a few more gifts coming in. This may help with the process of elimination, but how do I tactfully reach out to people who didn't give us gifts to ask who may have given it to us? I want to be sure that this person gets a thank you note!

    Did they order the gift online? I literally just had this happen yesterday. There was no name on the packing slip. But then I spotted a phone number on the slip and H and I both put it into our contacts list and a friend came up on mine. If no packing slip, do you know what store it came from? You might could call them and explain what happened and ask them for a name if they paid with a card. That was going to be my second go to. Not sure if they'd give it to you but it's worth a shot. I personally would not post it on social media.

    I managed to lose the entire list of who gave me what gift from my shower. I've used process of elimination, but I've got THREE gifts/ladies left. Time for somewhat generic thank you's for me I guess!

    My cousin posted on Facebook and instagram about a gift they received and figured it out. We had a gift that came with a card, but someone put ALL of our cards into the gift bag, so I wanted to make sure. It was a fun gift, so I took a picture and put it on my snap story and figured it out that way. They just responded through Snap chat so it was very informal.

    I kinda hoped to get double duty out of it, a lot of people that came to the wedding didn't get us a gift (mainly the young people, smh) so maybe it will remind them to at least send us a card. Hope that doesn't sound gift-grabby, but wow it was alarming how many people didn't get us gifts!

    Good luck!

    Emily, that sounds shockingly gift grabby.

    Definitely don't ask people who didn't give you a gift bc that will be awkward when they have to say, nope not me (I didn't get you a gift) - I'd post on Facebook and see who responds

    Doesn't sound gift grabby to me. It's rude and improper etiquette on their part not to even give you a card.
